Oh, let the bells keep ringing Let 'em ring out with joy Let 'em send send their love Yes to every girl and boy Oh, let the bells keep ringing Let 'em ring out with joy Let 'em send send out their happy love (happy love)
Well, this boy and girl took a walk one day Down to the sands near a moonlit bay They talked and they talked till there was lovelight in their eyes Then they kissed until the morning sun did rise
Oh, let the bells keep ringing Let 'em ring out with joy Let 'em send their love Yes to every girl and boy Oh, let those bells keep ringing Let 'em ring out with joy Let 'em let 'em ring out with happy love (happy love)
Well, I've just told you yes the story of my life And that little girl, oh yes, she is my loving wife And our little house where we now stay Sits in the middle of our little moonlit bay
Oh, let the bells keep ringing Let 'em ring out with joy Let 'em send their love Yes to every girl and boy Oh, let the bells keep ringing Let 'em ring out with joy Let 'em let 'em ring out with happy love (Hap-hap-hap-happy love) (Hap-hap-hap-happy love) One more! (Hap-hap-hap-happy love)

Let No Man Put Asunder Composer(s): Bruce Gray - Bruce Hawes First release by: First Choice - 1977 and multiple other artists
I'm surprised to see your suitcase at the door Remember the good times don't you want some more It's not a perfect love but I'll defend it 'Cause I believe that's what God intended
We got love too good to throw away
It's not over between you and me It's not over don't want to be free
What has been joined by God by God Let no man put asunder Oh no don't throw it away Don't throw it away
I can't hear those words spoken, understood Making bonds through love, the times are better good I'm convinced that what is meant to be will be Even the stars declare that you belong to me
We got love too good to throw away
It's not over between you and me It's not over don't want to be free
What has been joined by God by God Let no man put asunder Oh no don't throw it away Don't throw it away
Hmmm, oh, oh, oh yeah
It's not over between you and me It's not over don't want to be free
It's not over between you and me It's not over don't want to be free

Brian's Song Composer(s): Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman; Michel Legrand Originally performed by: Michel Legrand Covered by various other artists
If the hands of time Were hands that I could hold I'd keep them warm and in my hands They'd not turn cold
Hand in hand we'd choose The moments that should last The lovely moments that should have No future and no past
The summer from the top of a swing The comfort in the sound of a lullaby The innocence of leaves in the spring But most of all the moment when love first touched me
All the happy days Would never learn to fly Until the hands of time would choose To wave "Good-bye"
Hejsan morsan, hejsan stabben! Här e brev från älsklingsgrabben Vi har kul på kolonien vi bor tjugoåtta gangstergrabbar i en stor barack med massa sängar Kan ni skicka mera pengar? För det vore en god gärning jag har spelat bort varenda dugg på tärning
Här e roligt vill jag lova fastän lite svårt att sova Killen som har sängen över mej han vaknar inte han när han behöver, nej!
Jag har tappat två framtänder för jag skulle gå på händer när vi lattjade charader så när morsan nu får se mej får hon spader
Uti skogen finns baciller men min kompis han har piller som han köpt utav en ful typ och om man äter dom blir man en jättekul typ
Föreståndarn han har farit han blir aldrig vad han varit för polisen kom och tog hand om honom förra veckan när vi lekte skogsbrand
Uti skogen finns det rådjur i baracken finns det smådjur och min bäste kompis Tage han har en liten fickkniv inuti sin mage
Honom ska dom operera Ja, nu vet jag inget mera Kram och kyss och hjärtligt tack sen men nu ska vi ut och bränna grannbaracken!

Let Me Sing And I'm Happy Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Al Jolson and multiple other artists
What care I who makes the laws of a nation Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs What care I who care for the world's affairs As long as I can sing its popular songs
Let me sing a funny song With crazy words that roll along And if my song can start you laughing I'm happy, so happy
Let me sing a sad refrain Of broken hearts that loved in vain And if my song can start you crying I'm happy
Let me croon a low down blues To lift you out of your seat If my song can reach your shoes And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms Cotton fields and mammy's arms And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy, I'm happy
I don't want a seat on any big council A ruler's power is not what I'm seeking for Only let me feel that my songs appeal has reached your hearts I'll not ask for anything more
Let me sing a funny song With crazy words that roll along And if my song can start you laughing I'm happy, so happy
Let me sing a sad refrain Of broken hearts that loved in vain And if my song can start you crying I'm happy
Let me croon a low down blues To lift you out of your seat If my song can reach your shoes And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms Cotton fields and mammy's arms And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy, I'm happy
Breezin' Along With The Breeze Composer(s): Haven Gillespie; Seymour Simons; Richard Whiting Originally performed by: Josephine Baker
I have been a rover since I was a child No one to love or care for me Knocked around all over, kinda grew up wild My home's wherever I may be Ain't no someone yearnin', wonderin' where I be I'm gone, but no one's missin' me Ain't no light a-burnin' ev'ry night for me I'm like a bird that's flyin' free
I'm just breezin' along with the breeze Trailin' the rails, roamin' the seas
Like the birdies that sing in the trees Pleasin' to live, livin' to please
The sky is the only roof I have over my head And when I'm weary, Mother Nature makes my bed
I'm just goin' along as I please Breezin' along with the breeze

Let Me Love You Once Before You Go Composer(s): Steve Dorff - Molly Ann Leiken Performer(s): Dusty Springfield and multiple other artists
It's like looking in the window of a fine boutique Knowing there is nothing I could ever buy Still I want your love so much that I could die But I just can't lead a double life Being one man's lover, one man's wife
But you can start a fire raging just by touching me Even though I know we're not supposed to touch Oh, I never wanted anyone so much How I wish that I had found you first Don't you see my heart's about to burst?
Let me love you once before you go Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me, so don't keep saying 'no' Let me love you once, and then you'll see No one's ever gonna love you more than me
Let me lock the door and open all my love to you All the love I've longed to give you since we met It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get And I just can't let it disappear Oh my darling, please come over here
Let me love you once before you go Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me so don't keep saying 'no' Let me love you once, and then you'll see No one's ever gonna love you more than me

Breathe Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters; Ricky "Reagan" Wright Originally performed by: Pink Floyd Covered by various other artists
Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave but don't leave me Look around and chose your own ground For long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit run Dig that hole, forget the sun And when at last the work is done Don't sit down it's time to start another one For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race toward an early grave

Oh, let me go Let me go Let me go, lover Let me be Set me free From your spell

Breath Of Your Life Composer(s): Greg Fitzgerald; Daryl Hall; Tom Nichols Performer(s): Daryl Hall & John Oates
I can read between the lonely lines Every single word brings a tear to my eye Tell me how did we get here And where did heaven go
I remember us as strong as stone Now I see the cracks breaking up a home And a future filled with fear But I wont surrender no We can make it through the fire I wont lay it down and die I will be the air, if you are out of breath And out of time
Baby dont it feel right Dont you know why Wont you say what it is Why you just cant see whats going on Ill be the Breath of Your Life
See the way the wind blows No matter how it goes Im the air that you need If youre out of breath and out of time Ill be the Breath of Your Life Baby, no no we aint out of time
I dont want to go around again Passionate lover turning into friend I dont want to be back there Let that heaven go Explain the things you really need I can make it happen if you talk to me
Though I cannot read your mind I can get into your soul We Could Make it Through the Fire I wont lie down and die I will be the air if you are out of breath and out of time
Baby dont it feel right Dont you know why Wont you say what it is Why you just cant see whats going on Ill be the Breath of Your Life
See the way the wind blows No matter how it goes Im the air that you need If youre out of breath and out of time Ill be the Breath of Your Life Baby, no no we aint out of time
Are you feeling like youre drowning Are you choking? And you just dont know what to do Well I can help you make it through Am I the one to save it?
I really think that we could do this get through this Dont doubt it, think about it Be sure you can depend on me Let me be the air that you breathe
Baby dont it feel right Dont you know why Wont you say what it is Why you just cant see whats going on Ill be the Breath of Your Life
